The Skipper's Profile

Sandra not only looks after our safety, she adds a touch of glamour to our day at sea.Yarmouth Coast Guard look forward to her weekly calls.Passionate about nature, Sandra is often found liberating crabs and is a devout follower of 2 legged vegetarianism (only eats animals that had 2 legs?)

Rob's Profile

After some twenty five years of diving,
the fuse is still alight and draw of the North Sea pulls his soul towards the
sea. His interests lie in North Sea wrecks, particularly those rare unvisited
shallow and plump for the plunder.

Personal makeup:Dislikes almost all of the entire human race but following Stella application may become over-friendly! Disappointment in missing dives or failed tasks resulting in recriminations to his crew of sulking and stony silences which may last between hours and days (with occasional flashbacks). Underwater skills: To indentify goodies (eagle eyes). The ability
to know where his buddy is at all times even though the visibility is one metre
and his partner is swimming aimlessly around.Able to kit up and get in quicker than
any diver alive. His buddy is often just putting the fins on as Rob views him with copper discs eyes as he slips over the boat. Does not like being touched underwater.

Henry's Profile

Henry is the elder statesman of the group. He is the member who will always say "hang on let's think about this for a minute" while the rest of us carry on performing a task that clearly has no chance of success.On one occasion he was so narced he lost 1 fin without noticing. When he stumbled upon it later, he congratulated himself on finding a fin just like his!

Skills: Open Water Instructor, Advanced Diver, Gas Blender, Able to Offend almost anybody in any situation, Can consume ludicrous amounts of alcohol.Ambition: To build an LED lamp that is brighter than a Treble Light HID (No chance)

Henry also earns a small income as an Adam Hart Davies lookalike.He is available for after-dinner speaking, birthdays etc.

Rob's Profile

Rob contrary to first appearances does't have oversized hands.He's the team member we try to get to do all the jobs that call for the youngest (actually 2nd youngest now). He resists.........

Skills: Dive Leader, Advanced Nitrox, Mixed Gas Blender, can eat Curry hotter than Napalm without sweating (much). Ambition: To have a team of personnel on the boat whose sole purpose is to pander to his every need.

Andy's Profile

Andy is the Team Member who persuades the Skipper to look after us every week.He always has lovely kit that sometimes takes a little longer to put on than the rest of us.He hates fishing, but when asked to look after a rod doesn't like giving it back.

​

Skills: Open Water Instructor, Advanced Diver, Advanced Nitrox, Mixed Gas Blender Ambition: To survive the dive and to live "The Cambridge way"

Also...

As we kit up Andy likes us to sing You've got to pick a pocket or 2.And when we surface, he goes through our hauls and if they are up to scratch he calls us his "lovely boys".

George's Profile

Any observer would immediately identify George as the newest member of the Team; He is still willing, keen and doesn't moan too much. He takes even longer to kit up than Andy and often tries to jump in with his dry suit undone.

Ambition: To understand the rest of the Team through theological reflection (may as well give up now), and identify and raise pipe that meets the Required Standard (see photo).
